As head of the research team GAMoC of the LIFO laboratory, my research interests focus on discrete models for complex systems: cellular automata classification and algorithmics, tilings, dynamics of Turing machines, associated decision problems, and some combinatorics on words.

I studied in ÉNS Lyon and ÉNS de Cachan, and prepared my PhD thesis in Lyon under the supervision of Marianne Delorme and Jacques Mazoyer. From 2003 to 2011, I was an associate professor at université de Provence where I was a member of team Escape of the LIF laboratory.
